14:38 - True freshman quarterback Hunter Johnson is now in the game for the Tigers, and he trotted onto the field to a thunderous applause from the Clemson crowd. He didn't have to do much on his first drive of the game — just hand the ball off to Tavien Feaster, who took his fourth carry of the game 61 yards to paydirt.

SECOND QUARTER - CLEMSON 38, THE CITADEL 0

0:00 - Well, how did you think this one was going to go? Clemson outgained The Citadel 371-74 in the first half and scored on five of its six drives in the half. We'll likely see some of the Tigers' younger players get some run as the team looks to stay healthy for next weekend's showdown in Columbia.

2:54 - Zerrick Cooper has taken over at quarterback for Kelly Bryant — a predictable move with the Tigers up 31-0. Bryant's days ends after he put up 230 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 passing

11:59 - Four drives, four touchdowns for Clemson so far today — three of them via Kelly Bryant's arm. The junior Bryant tossed his third touchdown pass of the game, setting a new career-high.

FIRST QUARTER- CLEMSON 21, THE CITADEL 0

0:00 - The Tigers scored a touchdown on all three of their drives in the opening quarter, but Clemson fans likely only care about one — the 12-yard catch-and-run by Hunter Renfrow for his first score of the season. Clemson football SID Tim Bourret shared a captivating piece of information about Renfrow's touchdown.

Renfrow with his 2nd career TD in Death Valley. Still has twice as many TDs vs. Alabama as he has in 3 years of home games.

5:38 - That was fast. Trayvon Mullen picked off Citadel quarterback Dominique Allen to give the Tigers the ball at the Bulldogs' 38-yard line, and Travis Etienne punched it in six plays later for his 10th touchdown of the season, tying CJ Spiller's freshman record for rushing touchdowns in a single season.

8:13 - The Kelly Bryant to Deon Cain deep ball connection is already active, as Bryant hit an open Cain on a 53-yard go route for the Tigers' first score of the game. The entire drive went 60 yards in five plays and was exactly what Bryant needed after struggling with his accuracy on deep routes over his past few games.

PREGAME

It's not exactly a bye for Clemson, this football game between the Tigers, ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff, and The Citadel. Military Appreciation Day, a special and treasured event for the former military school, is being celebrated against a military school, and the contest marks Clemson's final home game of the season. A number of seniors will run down The Hill a final time.

But the top order of business for the Tigers figures to be fine-tuning for the stretch run toward potential championships, starting with the annual grudge match against the University of South Carolina next week, with the ACC Championship Game against No. 3 Miami to follow and a third consecutive appearance in the national championship's final-four tournament perhaps to follow after that.

If #Clemson beats The Citadel on Saturday, it'll mark Dabo Swinney's 7th 10+ win season with the program.

Clemson had 7 combined 10+ win seasons in its history before Dabo took over as head coach

As they do annually for Military Appreciation, the Tigers will be wearing purple.

Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and linebacker Tre Lamar, who's come on to play a bigger role as the season has progressed, are doubtful to play. Linebacker Kendall Joseph and cornerback Ryan Carter, the subject of an illegal hit by Florida State last week, are questionable.

Carter called the situation after the play by the Seminoles' Emmett Rice "scary." Clemson fans had other words, particularly after Rice's antics leaving the field when he was ejected.

Quarterback Kelly Bryant will play today, and his form — particularly his downfield passing — will be a point of focus for fans.

The Citadel, a team from the Football Championship Subdivision, is led by four players with at least 500 yards rushing: quarterback Dominique Allen and running backs Grant Drakeford, Brandon Rainey and Cam Jackson. The Bulldogs lead the Southern Conference and are No. 2 nationally in rushing offense at 308.6 yards per game.
